George had been reared in Dearborn, Michigan, where he went to school with Henry Ford . (The old Gardner home is now a part of Henry Ford ' s Pio~eer Village at Dearborn.) George went west at the age of 19, settled at Sioux Falls , South Dakota , and took advantage of the Homestead Law to acquire farmland. When George died at the age of 48, he was farming 1500 acres of rich ~Jssou~i Valley farmland with horses. After his death Hanna moved the children to town and rented the land to others. 11 Heinie and I attended the same high school," Dick r ecalls, 11 but since I :was a member of a higher class, I never knew her till several years l~ter. I didn't have much time to get into mischief. When I wasn' t going to school , I was working . Part of the time I did chores for farmers. For a while I helped the school custodian until I got a job at the telephone co~pany. It amounted to 40 hours per week countin~ all the evening hours and an all night shift Saturday night through Sunday morning . I worked on the test board tracing dovm ~alfunctions in the circuits. Originally, I was paid $30 . 00 per month which later raised to S45 . 00 . In SUJ!l.Oers I really made big money. I t raveled with a telephone construction gang as time clerk and bookkeeper. We installed telephone sµstems in small towns in South Dakota and Minnesota. For that I was paid S75. 00 per month plus my keep. Those were the days before cables and micro-wave transmission. Since every conversation required two separate lines, the telephone poles of those days were laden with several cross arms and dozzens of wires. Long distance calls could be heard only a certain distance. The farthest city we could speak with directly was Chicago. Beyond that an. operator in Chicago would have to relay the message on to another operator until it reach the party being called. I learned to use the telegraph. Telegraph messages were relayed on the phone lines without interfereing with conversations. Because of my work I always had money during high school and for college. 11 Dick was about to finish his sophomore year at South Dakota State when he enlisted in the Army for World War I. He sailed to France in a convoy of 13 ships . The crossing required 13 days, landing i n France on Frid~y the 13th. Many of the men were spooked by those numbers, but any bad luck incurred did not affect Dick. He was a member of a special rail road unit which built narrow gauge tracks and operated supply trains right up to the trenches. 11 Once our cutfi t connected its lines to some Ger~an tracks, crossed into German Territory and pulled a German train bacx into Allied territory. 11 Dick returned to America in July of 1919 and enrolled in college again. The first day back his friends invited him to go with the~ to a dance. Though he didn't have a date, Dick decided to go . As sooa as he arrived, one of his fri ends pointed out Heinie and said, 11 There is a girl from Sioux Falls. You should get acquainted. 11 That ' s exactly what Dick did. Henrietta Amelia is the youngest child of Henry and Amelia Benson, both of whom were born in Sweden. 11 My parents taught me English first, then Swedish. Father was a laborer. I lived in the same house I was born in until I married." �~ Heinie had three brothers and one sister. After graduating from high school she enrolled at South Dakota State to study home economics and commerce. She had been a secretary before college and afterwards did secretarial and book-keeping work all her life. Even though Dick and Heinie were serious students, they found some time for fun. A new music professor from New York who knew little about the ways of the west roomed in the same boarding house as Dick. On a snowy, windy night Dick and some of his friends took the prof on a snipe hunt and left him literally holding the bag. About 2;00 A.H. when the boys were about to get worried the professor came wearily up the stairs. After dating for four years Dick and Heinie were married in 1923. Dick says, 11 Some people may think that is a long t:..me to date someone, ·but in those days a boy was supposed to have a job and something to offer before he got married. I had a degree in agriculture and one in school administration. }:;:y first job was with the first rural consolidated school system in the state at Hadison. We had the first school buses and worked all .the bugs out of running a consolidated arrangement. After two years of teaching agriculture) I was selected to be the superintendent. I stayed with that two years and then took the job of county agent. 11 When World War II started Dick felt a responsibility to help with the war effort. He quit the county agent job and started teaching in a Radio School for the Army Air Corp. At first he was stationed in Sioux Falls, then in St~ Louis. In 1943 the Gardners r·eturned to Hadison where Dick resumed his job with the school until 1956. It was not a matter of being unhappy with life in Madison which started the Gardners looking for another place to live. They loved their life and friends there. 11 11 •,'le hs.d never lived outside South Dakota, Heinie says, ! 1 and ·we decided j_f we were ever going to see any other part of the count:r::, ·we should go then. Dick resigned his job a..~d we started looking. Actually we had Colorado in mind from the start. When we got to Denvei', Dick visited the Colorado Department of Education and learned there were openings for administrators all over the state. We made a list of possible places and began looking. If we didn 1 t like the looks of a place we wouldn't stop. 1'-le almost didn't come to Ignacio beca1.rne an outdated map showed an unpaved road over here. He iaP.1ediately liked the looks of the country around he re , but did not make a final decision until later. After visitin g s everal schools in Texas , Dick called back and accepted the job in I gnacio . He ·was principal at the high school for 3 years and of the grade schoql 3 years -until he retired in 1962, That same year we went to the World ' s Fair in Seattle and 11 then on to Hawaii to visit the grave of our son who died in the war. The Gardner 1 s son, Richard Robert, whom they called Bobby , was born in 1921+, Bobby was tall, 6 1 2 11 , ambitious and had high ideals . He entered the 11arines in 194-2 and was killed in action on Ha.rch 13, 1945', on Iwo .Tim.a. He was awarded the Silver Star, Purple Hea:rt with 2 gold stars, Presidential Units Citation ribbon with star, AsiaticPacific Campaign Hedal and the World War II Victory Hedal. Af'ter retiring, Dick served on the Ignacio town Board, as tovm clerk and as manager of the town gas system. He has been active in Lion 1 s Club, American Legion, VFW, the Regional Planning Commission and Alpha Zeta, a national agricultural society. Both of them have been active in the Presbyterian Church and have held various service positions in the local church. 'We've had good friends everywhere we have lived," the Gardners 11 say, but we'd never be happy away from the mountains • 11 1 1 ·, Shelby Smith • �(>eA.

The t own of Perdenal es sits in the Sierra ~adre R~nge in the west part of Chi huahua. Jose has little !l':emory of his life there. His father, Flores Alf onso Audera, died when Joe was an infant. This was followed by the death of his mother, Fra~ces, in 1915 when Joe was 8. It is a natter of speculation what would have becone of Joe if he had spent the remainder of his life in :-rexico. However, when his aunt and uncle, the Durans, who li vcd in :Sncinada, Hew· I:exico, heard abcut their sister's death, they decided to go see about the family. ".·lhat they found was little Jose, 8 ::,;ears old, in need of a new father and mother .. They brought him home with the□ and changed ~is nar:ie from Andera to Duran. 11 1-Iy uncle, Rosario Duran, was a blacksmith. As soon as I was old enough, he began to teach ;De some of the trade. Hy aunt Dolores Duran died when I was 11. Soon after this my uncle sold out and moved to _Edith,Colorado. I never went to school even one day. There was always too much work to do. At the age of 14 I began h9rding sheep for Felix Garcia, then later for Charley Red. Once in a while we had trouble with bears attacking the sheep and would have to go O!l a bear hunt. 11 Jose and his wife had six children. They are Niguel and )..rturo who l ive i n Ogden, Utah; Juanita and Ru~aldo who live in Albuquerque; 1-'.ar.y Monto ya i.:ho l ives in. 3lanco and Rosa who lives in Chama, N. :,:. Betwe en jobs with the sheep herding, Joe worked in Harry S~ith's Savmi.ill i!l LuJT:berton . In 1944, even though Joe was 37 years old, he decided to join the army~ The war was still going strong. Joe was sent to the Pacific a..'1d spent ti!Ile in Hawaii, the ?hillipi!'1es arid Japan. After 7 years he came home to :::dith, which he used as. ho!!:.e base for the next 11 years. In 1962 Joe sold his far?:. at Edith, noved to Pagosa and worked for San Juan Lu~ber until he retired. In the spring of this year he rented one of the apartr::ients in the senior center in Ignacio ·where he has · proved to be one of the best gardeners in_La Plata County. Two years ago Joe got to r eturn to see his relatives in Perdenales, • Vi-exico. Joe looked at the dry r::ountains surrounding the toTtm and 1. wondered how different his life would have been if his aunt and uncle ha1 not arrived in 1915.

"Hy Dad , Rob.ert Lee Penne11,·was born at Van Wert, Ohio, in He moved west for his health in 1907 or 1908, settling in Rocky Ford for a while, then moving on to Ft. Collins, where ee was employed by the Rocky Mountain Bee Company. My mother, Caroline Wood, was born in England in 1889 and moved to Ft. Collins with her parents whe n she was 14 years old. My parents were married in Ft. Collins in 1909 and moved over to Ignacio in 1912, when I was 2 years old. Dad rented a box car to transport his co~q, his horses and several bee hives. ~e lived in town several years while Dad built up his bee business. I attenced the old grade school located on the same site as the present Ignacio Grade school. By 1917 Dad's business was doing well enough for him to buy a Kissel Truck. It had no windshield and no top. We built a box bed for it about twice as lortg as a pick-up bed for hauling the bee hives. Dad started teaching me to drive while I was very young. I soon thought I was a hot driver and liked to drive fast. Driving, however was only a warm weather pleasure. Before winter Dad drained the radiator and put the truck up on blocks. Harry He Junkin, Clyde Galwyck and I had single speed bicycles with small tires which we used to ride all over the place. In the su~.!!ler we were often down on Ignacio peak digging caves. I could go whereever I wanted except down town. Dad had the notion I would get into trouble if I hung around there. So unless he sent me on an errand or mother sent me on an errand with a note to prove it, downtown Ignacio was off li~its. This order kept me away most, but not all of the time. I can still re~ember the day I ~as playing a ga~e of pool in the pool hall, a definately forbidden place. I heard Dad 1 s voice at the front Just in tiI11e to make a very rapid exit out the back door. Dad and I &ecided I should go to the school of mines. In order to meet the entrance requirements I had ~o enroll at Ft. Lewis School the last two years of high school to take physics and other courses not available in Ignacio. However, none of this worked cut because about the ti~e I ~as to leave for Golden, I got appendicitis. In those days an operation was aserious thing and r2covery took a long ti::ie. By the time I was feeling good again it was too late to go to school. I started doing auto repairs for Bill Liese 1 s Garage. I got $1 .25 per day working from 7:00 A.M. till 8:00 P.M. 3oon after this ~Y Dad 1 s health began to f2il and he turned the bee business over ~o ~e. Also about this tiJ:;1e I began to notice Bessie Briggs. She lived at .Allison but sometimes visited her sister in Ignacio and attended some of our dances." · Bessie Brig.g- 1 s Grandfather Briggs moved from England to Canada ~d then to the 1;,nited States. Her father, .James Briggs, was born at H?zelhurst, }'.ississippi, and lived in Illinois and Kansas before moving to Rocky Ford. James was a canp cook for a ranch. He □arried Martha Ella Miles at Rocky Ford. They moved to Allison, Colorado, and homesteaded the Rainwater Ranch. Bessie's Grandfather Briggs hocesteaded the; place where Krs. Little now lives. Bessie was one of nine children. Her oldest brother, Elmer, and her youngest brother, Ji~ Jr., are bo~h deceased. Ethel lives in Durango, Isabel in Albuquerque, Vali in Dura~o, Lester in California, Ruch in Bayfield andO pal lives at Red Mesa. Wh~n Bessie was five years old, her mother died. The older children _helped James take care of the younger ones. �"Dad was a good gardener ," Bessie remembers. nHe raised all kinds of fr uits and vegetables. We had plenty of meat except in summer whe n there was no way to keep it. I attended school gt Allison 10 years then boarded with the J.R. Ball fa~ily in Durango to fini sh high school. I worked for r::iy beard and r oom, but was treated like a rneober of the family. I was about to enter college at Ft. Lewis when Le e Pennell and I decided to get married. 11 11 Lee and I packed our bags the morning of December 1, 1933t and took off in his 1928 Chevy coupe for Durango. The road was muday and the ruts were so de ep we almost bogged down several times. We were married by the Rev. Schur::iacher at his ho!:le . After the cere □ony, we left for the Grand Canyon . Our route went through Gallup and Holbrook to Flagstaff where it was sno·,ving hard . When we got to the canyon, :~e stayed at Bright Anbel Lodge for $ 2 .50 per night. The El Tovar was S11 • 00 per ni gnt . :'here was a road across the ?Tavajo Reservation _ through Kayenta , but we were warned that the roao.s were ungraveled and sometimes i□passaole and also that gas ~ight be as high as 50 cents per gallon . Since we were accustoced to pay 15 -25 cents, that sounded a,,,fully high. ·:te car::1e back through Flagstaff . 11 "Back in Ignacio we rented an apartnent fro~ Ray 1-alls in what is now the Peaceful Suirit Center. Later we ~oved into Carlson ' s house and finally into Lee's parent's house after they moved back to ~t . Collins. In 191+5 we traded our house in town for !{rs . Payne's place on the hill where we still live. In the old days we got only 4 or 5 cents a pound for honey . Lee used. to have 600-700 hives, ':)ut no·,., r:ai!ltair..s only about 60. H4 was the local Bee inspector for 20 years . Juring ~he ~o•s :ee served two tel'ns on the to-....m board and. in the 50's was on the school board. 11 The Pe~nels have four children.

Suddenly, the boy ducked behind the pile and hissed at his sister to do the same. A t all man in blue pants and coat exa mined t he luggage and the children closely as he rode by on a c hes tnut horse. 11 Don't you know t hat 1 s a policeman, 11 the boy said. Marian and Ethan had just arrived in Chicago with their mother . Everything was unfamiliar and a little frightening. Like many country people of that era the children were nervous and suspicious of town people. Their mother had left them to watch the luggage while she looked for a means of t r ansporting it from one railway sta.tion to another across tovm. Moving was not a new experience for the Wrights, but they had never moved so far. The family had lived in many different places in Michigan. Now they were going to Colm~ado. Eve. Marian Wright was born August 3, 1902, i n Cass County, Southern Michigin. It is hilly, very green, fo res ted country f u ll of clear, flowing streams and "lots of bugs 11 , Marian remembers o Her father, Carl tOJ.} Eugene Wright and her mother , Myrta (Hogue) Wri ght moved frequently doing carpenter work and sales in various communities in southern Michigan. The home Marian remembers b.e st i-s the· country mill her father bought. The mill was four stories high.· The upper two stories were for grind:lng flour and the lower two were for grinding feed grist f or cattle and chickens. Tbe mill w:;is powered by a turbj_ne fed by flumes running from the three streams in the valley. It was a beautiful place. When the children were not needed to work in the mill they were assigned to fish in tpe nearby streams to supply meat for the famil y o Marian and Ethan never became bored with this s.ssignment. Since Mr . Wright was not licensed to grind flour? most of his time was spent grinding grist f eed for animals. Most of his business c ame i n t he fall, but a f ew farmers came during the rest of the ye ar. The wrigh ts acquired t wo prized ani mals with the mill. One was a horse which was e speciall y good nat ured. No one needed to even touch the rein s to get him t o t own . Ther e was, hm•1ever, one place he wauld not pull the buggy. He had fallen t hrough a bridge once and he would not cross a bridge unless someone walked across before him. The other prized animal was a tiger striped mother cat and her litters. They were es sential in keeping down the rodent population around the grain in the mill. One of the tomcats liked to go fis hing with the children. If they were slow to catch a fish to throw to him, the tomcat would wade out into the stream, hook a fish with his claws and enjoy his feast. · School was only about 1½ miles away, but when the snow stood 3-4 feet deep , it was sometimes difficult to make the trip. No one seemed to know anything a bout skiis or sno·wshoes in that area at that time. At 5 yea r s of age i•far i a...'1 shrrtP.d to pre-school, which in those days was cal:Led. primer cl ass . Children we:.:en ' t expecte9- to learn t o r ead in primer clas s , but Marian did . He1~ father had instilled in her a love f or reading from an eaI·ly age. Coal was expensive in southern Mi chi gan , so the Wrights chopped a lot of wood for t he wi~tcr. On t h~ l a.nd adjacent to the .mill Mr. Wright raised oates and a little barley and wheat. Occasionally, he raised buckwheat for cakes. When the crops were ripe, Carlton would hire a steam powered thrashing machine and its crew. Marian and Ethan were �.. :fascinated by the steam powered machinery and.often would follow the thrashing machines from field to field to watch the crews at work. · I They can remember getting up at 3:00 A. M. one morning to stoke the steam engine for the crew. Always, Carlton had bees for honey and a good garden for produce. The mill and the garden provided for the needs of the family. A little extra cash, however is always useful, Ethan had a part time job which was the envy of other young boys in the area. One of the neighbor l adies operat ed •a bird farm. She had 200 kinds of unus ual Amer ican bir ds, var i •ous game birds and exotic foreign kinds. The bird l ady could n ot possi bly f i ll all .the orders she received. E"tcp.tµi r eceived one dol l ar per day f or feeding, watering and cleaning cages. Occasi onal heavy r ai ny periods had caused floods which threatened t he mil l, but none di d any r eal damag~ until 1917. A hefty floJd tha t year destroyed all the f lumes leading to the mill. Carlton said, "Tha t .' s enough. We' r e going t o Colorado. 11 Colorado had been on their min ds for some time . Marian ' s mother had a cousin living at Tiffany who had been urging them to move out here. Carlton sold t~e place, boxed all their possessions and put the family on the train. Carlton himself went by auto by way of Wyoming to visit relatives before coming on to meet the family at Tiffany. The Wrights had never seen real mountains until they reached the plains east of·Denv~r on the train. Marian still remembers that first day she saw them. ·11 1 couldn't keep my eyes off them. I loved the mountains from that first day I saw them and I still do." The family changed to the narrow gauge at Alamosa and traveled over Cumbres Pass to Chama and Pagosa Junction to Tiffany. Marian thought she knew quite a bit about farming, but one practice at Tiffany baffled her . Coming from the lush, green c~untryside of Michigan·, she had never seen irri gating before. Mr. Wri ght bought J ake McJunkin' s farm located just west of the present day Dlaughter house including his crop and aniID_als. A year or two later Carlton acquired the ranch land several miles on-west of Ignacio where Marian still lives. Marian completed her sophomore and junior years here. The end of her junior year was disturbed by a dispute which seems a little ridiculous today, but which r eflects the attitudes of that t ime . Marian and her classmates heard that one of their f avorite teachers , Ra venna Groat, was being refused reemployment. by the s chool board. Mari an and Virginia Russell and others in their class met with the board to ask whether this were so. The board said, yes, they had fired Ravenna Groat for riding a horse in riding britches instead of a riding skirt. The junior class told the board they would not return to school if the board persisted in this action. The school board members doubted the students could afford to attend school in Durango, but most of them · got jobs, saved their money and did manage to enroll in Durango for their senior year. Actually this was a wise thing for them to do as the Ignacio school was not accredited at that time. Following graduation Marian attended a two week teacher's institute at Pagosa Springs and then took a stiff exam to receive a county teacher's certificate. This may seem like very little training (which it was), but Marian says it was a stiff exam and many people had to take the exam mor e than once to pass. Marian taught in various schJol around the county. She loved the work, though conditions were often less than ,_) i deal. Some of the buildings were completely uninsulated and haJ r"\ �3_ poor heaters. w'hen Cedar Grove school was closed against Marian 1 s object ions, s he started · a ''bootleg school " in her home on the· ranch. 11 Sqme of the students, 11 Harian explains , 11were walking 7 miles to Cedar Grove. How could t hey go several more mil es to another s chool? 11 Some f amilies would send one child to s tay wit h · Marian f or a week and then they ·would take that child home and send another ·one to learn all they could for a ·week. The schoolMarian remembers with most affection was the school in Thompson Park just this side of Mancos Hill. 11 The students there were so intelligent and decent and nice. I really enjoyed the time I taught school over there • 11 In 1928 the Frank Harmon family asked Marian to go with them to · Michigan and to help take care of the Harmon children on the trip. Marian ·was very happy to do this since she had not be,-:in able to return to visit relatives and see her birthplace since she had moved. On the return trj_p the Harmons stopped in Hamilton, Kansas, to see some relatives of theirs. There Marian met a. young man named Bowen Worford. He spe·nt quite a little time .driving the Harmon kids around to see their relatives in the area and Marian accompanied them. Before she left Bowen got Marian I s . address a.--i.d wrote to her during that summer and fall. Bowen had lived in Montana for a while before returning to Kansas and was eager to return to the mountains. At Christmas time Marian returned to Kansas and she and Bowen were married. The follow"ing April t hey came out to LaPlata County. Shortly after Bowen and Marian were married Mr.s. Har mon died. Aftera while the court aslced Marian and Bowen to take care of the two Harmon gj.1•1s. The girls stayed with the Worfords until they were grown. · Harian remembers with a chuckle the time their dog tried to 11 herd 11 Bowen 1 s Ford Coupe. Bowen and Marian took·the coupe over to Spring Creek to get a cow t.he:v· had bought . Their dog, a s hepherd and collie mix went along~ One o:~ them was dri:\ring the coupe and the other was out with the dog hording the cow·. When the cow made a sudden turn to escape, Bowen yelled, 11 get her" to the dog. Somehow 'ole Shep 1 s doggy brain got its wires crossed, apparently thinking Bowen :meant the coupe instead of the cow. The dog made a ferocious J.eap and bit the tire of the moving car . Of course, he got t hrown for a l oop by the whee l and that was the last time old Shep tried to herd a coupe. Bowen died i n 1967, but Marian· stays on the ranch.. I ~ 1 s in a remote area and t here are times it 1 s a little difficult to get in or out, so many people have urged Marian to move to t own . So far s he has refused. She loves her animals and the wildlife and the peace and quiet of the land. Beyond that the place is full of memorj.es of Bowen and her parents and of her first years here. For these reasons Marian's ties to the ranch are strong. We wish her many more years of happiness and peace. ~ff~~~ffi .0'~1Gtti·:~ by Shelby Smith ~f.~~II ~ ,... r.-! , ·->+-vcf'~ J.

Speaking at a special colloquium held at the university, Dr. Smith blamed lack of social interaction, more than any bio• logical, process of aging, .!}.S the reason that some people act "old." Dr. Smith cited experiments in· which people in their 20s and 30s began to exhibit certain behavior patterns attributed to older people. The characteristics emerged hours or days after consistently oeing ignored and made. to believe that they were superfluous by having their opinions discounted or ridiculed. The psychologist believes a person 11eeds to be sure of his role and convinced of his own importance. He needs a kind of mental Shangri-la. "As Jong as you remain in that meaningful warm valley," Dr. Smith says, ''that place where you still have some social power, you will not exhibit the characteristics of the aging. But once forced out of that Shangri-la,, once your capacity to affect the social environment is gone, the characteristics will begin to appear." i / _/.

On the plus side are the Indian tradition and culture that teach ho1w1· and respect for the old.

When asked what it's like to grow up in a house full of people, Lucy says, ''My_ older brothers and sisters took care of me, carried me, dressed me and fed me. J·lother was busy all the time. She never stopped. The older kids had to help with the younger ones because mother had onl y a little time to spend with each child. When Lucy was 4 year s old her parents, Cornelio and Ferminia Val dez decided to leave Blanco., New Mexico, and moved to a farm south ot.: Ignacio . "When I look back on those days, I think how poor we were, especially compared with today. We each had one set of clothes and one pair of shoes. When the shoes were worn. completely out, father would try to buy us another pair. 11 •Father and the boys were always busy on the farm. They raised grains and hay. We produced our own potatoes and beans and corn and everything else we· could grow • . Mother dried apricots and peaches and vegetables. In the fall our cellar was full of potatoes, squash and apples. After it was cold enough, the butchering would start. The hams were coated with curing sugar, wrapped with cheese cloth and stored in the cool house. We hung a leg of beef outside and cover it with a sheet. Whenever we wanted meat we went out and-cut off whatever portion was needed. In the spring the leg of beef was moved into the cool house until it was used up." "We seldom ever came to town except to go to mass on Sunday. Dad and the boys hitched the team to the big wag,on. To keep our dresses clean we threw quilts into the back of the wagon. If the weather was bad we stayed home and Dad read the Bible to us. 11 Transpor tation in the ol d days s eems slow to people today, but it was dangerous at times . Lucy. recal ls , 1.ronce Dad and Mother and Mary wer e ·driving the wagon from La Boca to Ignacio. When the tail of one of the horses got caught in the reins, it became very frightened and bolted. Tlm •Wagon turned ov·e r . Dad and Mary were unhurt, but Mother I s leg was broken, · After Dad got the wagon t ipped up again, he lifted Mother inside and brought her to Dr . La Forge ." • Like most children of her generation, Lucy loved to ride horses. 11 We always rode bareback to br ing the cows in. We liked to ride fast and to race, At that time I woul d rather ride horses than anything." Lucy got to go to school in the country a few years, then the family moved to town. "I was a little afraid to go to school in town because I could speak hardly any English, but I met Jesse Stauffer and Frences Copeland and they became good friends. Within a week or so I could get along with the English pretty well. I began earning my f irst money washing and ironing clothes for Mrs. Wayt (Vida Ritter 1 s mother). I went earl y before school t o wash and hang the clothes. At noon I would take them off the line and sprinkle them. Then in the evening I ironed them. I made $. 7 5 an hour doing that. 11 11 I . Dad didn t care for dances, but Mother loved them. She often took us kids to the dances at the S.P.M.D.T.U. Hall. It was at one of the dances there that I met Andy Duran. Andy's first wife had dierr some time before. We dated for about two years and then decided to get married. Andy Duran was born in Purango on October 29, 1902. His mother died when he was still a small child, so his grandpa.rents raised him \ ) �3. ;i,, in Rosa, N.M. Andy quit the 8th grade to go to work on . the railroad. He was still working on the railroad when he and Lucy were married. The Dura.t1s have 1 O children, Andy Jr., Cornelio, .Jack, Orlando, Rudy·, . . -1 Lillian, Eileen, Corinne, Martha and Yolanda. As a railroad employee Andy and his family had free tickets to ride the train. Most of their travel was back and forth to Durango for shopping and visits. In 194-1 Andy was moved to Rico as Section Boss. After a couple of years there he got an opnortunity to·work in the mines at Telluride and Ophir and stayed with that for 12 years. That is definately not easy work, but living ther e provided a magnificent place for the children to grow up . Probably no place in this country has more spectacular scenery or more opportunity for outdoor fun than the mountains around Telluride. Lucy remembers, 11 0ur house was full of fishing gear, snow shoes and skiis. The boys were.out camping or hiking or fishing er hunting as much as they could. Even today the boys take their families over there and 11 camp and fish and· try to share that beautiful place with their children. Boys, even good boys like Andy' s and Lucy ' s, are r ascally at times. They were in and out of mischief, 11 Lucy recal ls . "I especially remember the time they and their friends were dar ing one another to ride the tram cable across the valley." A trara withbig ore -buckets carr ied the ore from the mine down to the mill. Unknown to us the boys had been daring one another to jump up and grab a hold of the. cable and hold on until it carried them across the valley to the next hill where they could jump off. I guess some of them had been doing :tt. Finally, it was Cornelio 1 s time. What he didn't know was how close it was to 12:00 noon. At noon the mine whistle went off and everything, including th0 tram stopped while the miners had lunch. Cornelio was about half ';Jay across the valley when the whistle blew and the cable stopped. Well, i no one can hold on for an hour. Cornelio's arms gave out, he fell and fortunately, only broke a leg. 11 For several years the family lived in company housing at the mine at Altus. Sometimes we were sno\.;red in for a week, but we always had plenty of coal· and plenty of food stoclrnd u:p. Avalanches would cover the roads and the big rotary plows would haYe to come. dig it all out. 11 As anyone kno,;.1s who lives around Ignacio, Andy and Lucy have wonderful children. Their method of child rearing is as follows: nwe always tried to make our children understand that God should be first in peoples lives and then a good education so that they can earn a living and be of use to others. Children should be whipped when they are bad .until about age 12. From then on they have minds of their oi<m and if they haven't learned right from wrong by then it 1 s probably too late, anyway. 11 When the mines closed around Tellurinde about 1954, the Du.rans moved back over to Ignacio. Andy did farm work around this area until it was time to retire. But like many other active people have discovered, retirement is not necessarily that much fun. So Andy is working again this summer. When asked if there is something she would like to do that's never been possible, Lucy replies, 11 ! have al\•mys dreamed of going to Rome to see the Pope, but that's a long way over there. 11 Even if Lucy never gets to go, she and Andy can look back on a panarama of ,life experiences with many good memories. Their lives have sp2...nned great changes in this country :nl they still enjoy- good heal th, \._) We wish them many more years of health and happiness and their children many more reunions at Telluride. · Shelby Smith 11 �September 19 ·senior Social (with a session on Arthritis) Welcome to our Sentember Social!

Also, the valley below the p'illars was cal:Led :fashington Flats. Both were naned for a rer:::.arkable Indian . family whose descendants still live in this area. . Daisy -i.-:atts :was -oorn near ChiED.ey Rock on Jan. 18, 1901+, the daughter of Joseph and Jane Hatts. Hhen Ja..-ri.e died 2 years later, Daisy was raised by her gra..11cl~other, lfartha, and her grandfather, George ·.:ashington. George and 1-rartha ·were not still living in a teepee, but otherwise they still follo·wed the old ·uays. George 1-ras, as nost lt3erican sch._ool children would say, a 11 real 11 Indian. He was a hunter, a .fisher and ·a. 1.mods-wise ~an little changed by J>_TJ.glo er S:pa..n.ish cult ure. People ,-ib.o saw hin never forgot George i:ashington, partly because of the ·way he dressed. During sur....::ter and most of the w;inter George wore nothing but a breechcloth held in place by a string a.."'1.d \-,~s one of the last of his tribe to dress in this fashie,p. Since he, like ~ost of his ancestors, had 1.{orn this scanty costu~e all of his life, his skih was very dark, weathered and tough. His appearance vas one of toughn~ss a...n.d ferocity.

He also had sheep and goats which he butchered as needed. ;.'hen I got old enough I here.ed the sheen in the hills. Grancmother al,;-;ays ta..'111ed the goatskins. She had a simple way. She rubbed the inside of the skin •with brains, let it ci.ry, rubbed it ·with brains and re-neated this till the li...ide was cured. The skins had many uses. One of- which was to 2ake leggings for us in uint~;r. Sometimes cy sisters and I used the goa t skins for a sled in sno·wy 1-rea-c~'ler. We cli.tlbed the hills with the skin and nut it hair dom1 on the snm'f. One sat in front holding the front legs of the skin and the other sat in back holding the back legs. It would go fast. Once my Uncle Fritz bought me a dollwith a china head. \·!hen my grandnother sa.""'.:T hm·T TIUch I liked it, she made me an Indian c:radle for it fro::n a board, sor.2e buckskin, willmrs and beads. I think we always had plenty to eat. The hills ·were full of food. Every sunner and .fall we picked ,-:rild strawberries, chokecherries, berries and banana · berries'i'.' until 1·1e had all we could eat and all we could dry fol" winter. The banana berries were ~y favorite. After they were dried, ,,re 1-:ould boil them and they nade a sweet syrup 1•:rithout adding a._r-1y sugar.

I went to t he Ellen· Day School for one year~ then to the Ute Boar ding school.for 4 years and to the Indian School at Sa..1"1ta Fe for 4 years. Then I was transferred to school at Albuc;.uerque for two years . When my father died I cal:le back to nacio and lived uith =Y sister Lucill.e. 11 Shortly afterward Daisy got a job doing domestic ·work for the John Landers fa:ri.ly who lived at the :a.I.A. c o!nplex north of Ignacio.

Max says-, 11 My father 1 s band, the Capote Band, traveled a. lot in those days. Some of them were far~ers, but most of them moved around for good hunting and the teepee uas the right thing for being on the move. There were very few white men around in those days. We hunted for deer and rabbits and herded our sheep and goats. Our games were made to give us skj.lJ.. We would throw round targets into the air and shoot them before ·t hey came down. I rnaae my own fishing pole from a willow, some string and a needle bent into a hcok. We all had horses and depended on them for all our moving around. Hy grandfather told me of a tiI!le when he was young that there were few horses. He knew of some of our people trading a child for a horse. They were valued so much when they were scarce. The Utes always liked horse races. Because the road across the river was long and straight, we bad our races there. 11 11 1.fy peop1.e were not surprized when the white man brought.the train. One of the old l!l.en had seen it in a dream. He told his people that one day white men would cor1e in a thing with smoke and fire. I never rode the train · until I was nearly grown. I was scared of it. }Tnen it came up the valley it ~ooked like it was coming straight at me. I would run. 11 Hy parents put me in the BIA boa:z;-ding school for a few years, but when I got old -enough to herd the goats they needed ne at home. We had some J.a:nd over on the Piedra River and moved back and forth to it. We :played many garc.es; some for fun and some for gambling. One was played with big nails and a pile of dirt, The nails which had numbers painted on the~ -..,ere pushed out of sight into a pile of soft earth. The players took turns poking a stick into the pile to expose a nail, They got points according to the numbers on the nails. The women watching the game would sing and dance around the pile to try to make the earth fall. Blankets, horses and noney were gambled in this game. We also had a game like the white man 1 s horseshoes only we used flat rocks which we would try to throw near or into holes dug in the ground. 11 11 By the time he was 16, Max was on his own. He worked with the crew which built the irrigation ditches. His pay was $1.50 per day. Euterpe's father, John Taylor was his boss. A few years later he went to Buckshin Arizona, to work in the cornf·ields. Before the co:-n was ripe, Eax was put on guard to shoot the blackbirds out of the fields. In harvest time he harnessed the horses every morning and helped with the picking. I always came back to Ignacio when a job ended. After a few years I got a job working at the agency. Until I met Ellen House I had no thought of marrying anyone. Why get married with no money in my pocket? 11 11 Ellen remembers, 11 Max started sending me boxes of chocolate. Sometimes there would be money in the boxes. We were married in 1925 at the court house j_n Durango. I was born in 1907. My mother, Fannie House, died in the flu epidemic of 1918 when I was 11 years old. Daisey Eagle 1s my half sister and I had a brother, Danny, and a sister named July9 Both of them died in accidents on horses. 1-fax and I lived in a house near the agency until 1934, when �3) we moved to the farm near La · Boca. We lived on the farm where Rose Watts is no~. At that time there was an old house on the farm built of posts. Later we bo12ght the land on the hill where we still live. It 1 s good ground up there with a spring nearby." After Max quit the agency, he worked for the D. & R.G.W Railroad with the crews that cleared the track of snow in the winter. Since Max was a cook's helper, his job was not too hard. The others had to use their shovels if the snow plow could not remove the drifts. The crew worked at Red Cliff and at Soldier's Summit in Utah. The crews slept in box cars. It was very cold. In 1955," Ellen says,"we built a new house on our farm. 'When we were strong, we raised sheep, horses, grain, hay and all our vegetables. I still have 9. big garden. In the 30' s many ho1boes came up from the railroad tracks and ask for something to eat. I always gave theq something. So many poor people were traveling around then. I think a farm is the best place to live, because even when· thexe are no jobss farmers have work. We sold potatoes to the BIA School and horses to the Navajos. We never liked cows, but we liked to keep goats and make cheese from thei1" milk. We I re st_ill on our farm and we don't want .to live anyplace else. 11 11 The Watts had seven children in all: Colleen, Ed, Lula, Ellenetta, Crystal, Jerry and Eunice. Only Colleen, Lula and Crystal are still living.

In 1895 a town ordinance was passed agains t fast-riding and driving . It s eemed to be an almost daily occurence for s everal young men of the town to ride in and out of to,m as fast as their s teeds would carry them, almost as if they were hurrying for a doctor or escaping f ror.J an officer.

We always came back to the Florida. The river bottom was_ a good place to raise potatoes and corn •. . The whole area had d_eer and other game. There was no hetter river than the Florida. It ~as clear and full of fish and turtles. While I was still young, my parentsbuilt a two-room frame house in the river bottom. We had good neighbors. Nicholas and Peter Eaton lived nearby. It was a very good life. No boundaries and no fences. We could go to the high mountains or to the valleys to find pasture or to hunt without anyone to tell us no. 11 11 When I was ten years old , my parents sent me to the bearding schocl at Ignacio. It was pretty bad there at first. I snake only Ute. After a while l began to learn English from the other chiidren. I liked the holidays when I could ride our horses and be free. In the suI!'.l!Ilers I herded the sheep fpr my Dad. 7here was goo~ hunting around the sheep camps. I shot my flrst doe when I was 16. Borne of the bucks we got were so heavy we had to cut them up or carry them on a horse. 11 11 I donrt go to powwows any more, but I liked them when I was young. The tribe used to put on a real show. There were different styles of dancing, more than now. The Bear Dance was always the first dance of the season. In the 1920 1 s the Sun Dancewas started here. I think it came from Oklahoma.'! ur went only to 5th grade at the boarding school. When I quit, I enrolled at the country school at La Posta for a while to learn Spanish. 11 "In 1918 I was ready to enlist in the army to go to the war in France, but before I got in, the war ended; so I traveled around working at different jobs for a while. In 1920 I got to visit rny grandfather, ~ames Capote, in Ft. Duchesne. He told me many things about the Utes, but I have forgotten most of it. My father died in 1921. Soon afterward we built a house north of Ignacio. I ~orked at the Indian Agency for many years plo...:ing and running the thrashing machine." Roy married Labrara Radea. They had one daughter, M~ry Suazo.. Later Roy married Mary Bean. Their children are 1-fary Santisteven, Vonnestine Eerrera and Eileen Weaver. Roy remembers seeing automobiles around Ignacio as early as 1913, but h~ never owned his own car until 1939 when he bought a Mercury. He says, 11 We had a good life after the Second World War. I had a good job and also made money raising sheep and cattle. We owned seven different cars and did some traveling around. 11 · Mary died in 1961. The only one of Roy's brothers or sisters still living is Belle Cutthair. Recently Roy moved from his home north of Ignacio to one of the apartemts at the senior center. He 1s now 79. His vision is f air and his hecring' is excellent. He says, 11 I never thought I'd live this long, but here I am. 11 ' Shelby Smith �~ ?t'~: ~~; ~: ~~'l;l'1?T ~~ 1:1:,~~ ~-~ - R~lr~ ~~ - f f ~ ~ ~~~ f;d,L,/41JW--c,-_~ ,:u:.. ,J.,ul,u - 'r"f./#.~ - f r ~ ~ ~ 0~ ~ -·.r- •. -~- .. ~ _...... ,-.J -~~ ~ L.J ~ �Mrs. Lousia Hartig had company during the Labor Day Holidays . &re from Denver were her gra.nddaughter, Marsha and her husband, John Johnsen and his pa.rents , Mr . and Mrs .

Q PIX3~t,-~ /~ - �FRANK PADILLA Frank Padilla was born at La Jara, New Mexico, (near Cuba) in 1903. His parents, Jose R~fael Padilla and Alcaria (Mestas) Padilla, had three older children when Frank was born. They are Beatrice, Amalia and Cleotilde. The Padill~ •s moved to Arboles, Colorado, when Frank was one year old. His father worked for the D. & R.G. Railr.oad building track~ His foreman was a. Japanese man~ The 11 extra gang",as the Japanese crew was known, created quite a stir of interest since most of the local people had never s een Orientals before and had certainly never seen anyone eat so much rice. · Frank says he attended school at Arboles f'Jr one year, then went to college at the sheep ca~p. Sheepherding was Frank 1 s life work. Many of those years he was employed by Salvadore Rodriquez, an uncle of Fred Rodriquez. Except for a few trips to Grand .Tunctio11 and Utah and one memorable trip to Los Angelos, during which he missed a bus connection and toured all over Pueblo and Denver, Frank has spent his whole life in the Arboles/Ignacio area. Frank has never been married. During the interview we teasingly asked him -whether he had ever had any girl friends. He set us in our· places by replying the only lady he is i11terested in is the Virgin Mary. Frank's devoted religious faith is well kno~m in this community. If the people of Ignacio were asked to name the person who is the best neighbor in town, I a.Iil confident Frank would be one of the winners. For many years Frank has taken care of the grounds at the Catholic Church. Since moving to one of the senior center apartments, he has watered and hoed all the flower beds and swept and cleaned the walks and the parking lot. Every spring Frank visits both the Catholic and the non-Catholic ) cemetaries to search for any untended graves. He removes the weeds and cleans every grave which appears to be neglectedo In his daily walks bet-ween Ignacio and the senior center he picks up and disposes of the litter a.long both sides of' the highway. All these tasks are perfor~ed without thought of pa:rment and apparently without any resentment that others do not hel p. For the se r easons 1~e are pleased to honor Frank Padilla as our senior citizen of the month. He is a responsible, dj_gnified resident and has set an admirable example for the rest of us to be a friend and neighbor to our whole community. ~ Shelby Smith �Don and Jayne Lyday and son Chris spent a couple . of weeks in this area the last of August~ They were overhauling their cabin property north of Durango and their cabin and trailer below the Vallecito.

When she returned home, she worked actively with the employees of the Ute Agency on the Pine River. Because of her language skill and mastery of English, she often served as interpreter at the Agency. On one memorable trip, she accompanied a Ute delegation to a meeting in Washington, D.C. None of this work caused her to lose her interest in the common affairs of life on the reservation. Back home she was one of the best cooks. Everything we ate was home-grown or hunted out of the wilds. She dried and canned our food for the winter. I can still remember washing all those old Kerr jars." "My dad, Juan Pena, a Tewa Indian from Nambe Pueblo, came into the San Juan country to work in the fields when he was just a teenager. Mother met him when he was herding sheep for one of my great uncles, 'Talion' Spencer. After my parents were married, they settled up in the Redondo Valley west of Cat Creek above Pagosa Junclion where my mother had an allotment of land. Dad built us a log house chinked with mud. He was a good farmer, raising crops of grain and hay and managing our flock of sheep. My parents conversed in English and Spanish at first, since neither one knew the other's Indian language. Dad soon learned Ute, since he was around so many Utes." "When my older sister Gennevive and I started to school, Dad moved us to a house in Pagosa Junction. Mrs. Zabriskie taught all 8 grades. I attended only two years in Pagosa Junction. The next year my sister and I and Curtis Cutthair and several others were sent to the Indian School at Santa Fe. The trip was by narrow-gauge railroad with an overnight stop in Antonito. Since I was only 6 or 7 years old, you can imagine how scared I was. I was deathly afraid of being sent away and never coming back. Personnel from the school met us at the Santa Fe depot with a stage coach pulled by mules. Everything about the Indian School was OK except it was just too far from home. My mother died while I was away at school. From then on I helped lake care of my little brother every summer. Vacation time at Pagosa Junction was a delightful break from school. We fished and swam in the San Juan and hiked in the woods. About the only time we ever went to Ignacio was at ration time. That was an all day ride in a wagon and then a long wait in line. We were issued fresh meat, coffee, flour, sugar, etc." "After finishing 10th grade at Santa Fe, I stayed in the dorm north of town and attended grades 11 and 12 in Ignacio. In 19361 finished high school and started working in the accounting office at the B.I.A. with a lady named Rae Mills. She began to teach me the bookkeeping I used for so many years. Before 1936 almost all business and money for the tribe was handled by the B.I.A. This began to change in 1936. That year we began to credit income lo our own accounts, but we still did not write our own checks. About this same time I married Ramius Kuebler. Ramius was a bus driver for the B.1.A. and I continued my work. We had three children, John, Theda and Lawrence. We got our present house in town in 1954. The next year Ramius became very ill and died. I quit 98 �'l "1 ) 'l 'l '} ) l J l ) work to take care of him during the last months. In 1956 the Tribe asked me to come back to work with the books. My years with the Tribe from 1936-1972 were mostly spent in the finance department, but I also worked part of the time on the Tribal Census with Millie Daniels, in Property and Supply with Harold Turner and in the irrigation department doing typing. In 1974 I got a job as secretary at the SUARC Program and only recently retired from there. " "Now that I'm home, I spend my time taking care of my grandchildren, Michele, Kathy and Cedric and I read my books. I love to read. I have read all of Louis L'Amour's books and many other books of different kinds." ) J ) ) J "My father, Juan Pena, will celebrate his 99th birthday in May. I am thankful to still have my father." "I want everyone to know I enjoyed all the years I worked for the Tribe and now that I have extra time, I will be glad to serve the Tribe in any way that I can."
